This 'Jingle' is a new one to me. Unforch, verizon is exactly like M$ in that
as a 2 bit company, they can't stand one bit of competition, so the user
confirmation emails from most of the SIP servers are filtered to /dev/null by
their servers. I have signed up for several, and never received the
confirming email. That can't be just a co-incidence...
FEI (For Everyone's Info), while SIP is a
standard and interoperable
protocol, Skype is a proprietary protocol and app, and being a peer-to-
peer system, it uses your bandwidth for other calls too.
This is true, and IMO, XMPP/Jingle is even better standard. Downside of
these compared to Skype is more or less total lack of encryption for the
actual voice RTP stream. I would hope that SRTP would be used more, but
establishing the key infrastructure to support it can be a bit complex... Empathy (http://live.gnome.org/Empathy) is
"the" Telepathy client for
the Linux desktop. Telepathy + Farsight is a framework to handle
IM/presence/call signaling and streaming.
I'll have to check that out, thanks. Humm, found a whole bunch of jabber
stuff with yumex, about 180 megs worth installing now. I might be back for
help. :)
Q: Has that been wrapped for KDE also? Apparently not for kde4 yet.
Thanks, now back to the thread.
